The End key is more or less obsolete with the advent of the mouse.In the stone age, there were no mouses (except in your barn) so End was a convenient way of moving around, lets say, a word document.Instead of using the arrow keys to move back and forth through text, you could hit END and it would take you to the end of a sentence.CTRL+END would take you to the very end of the entire document.Same applies to Home.

If you ever used an old computer, it would be easier to understand its use.

I always use all the keys. In the great majority of instances, keys (and shortcut key combinations) are far more accurate, and faster than a mouse.

I remember watching an executive scroll to the bottom of a 20 page document by holding the mouse cursor over the 'scroll down' arrow at the bottom of the scroll bar. I wanted to say that this was an idiotic waste of my time, but I also didn't want to get fired.

I'm continually amazed that even many pro's who are really proficient with some advanced graphic applications (Photoshop, 3DS Max, etc.), still don't know or use shortcut keys for common tasks.
